The fourth annual Sonic co-ed 3on3 basketball tournament took place
last weekend with 46 teams competing for bragging rights and to remember former
Windham High School basketball player Danny “Sonic” Giguere, a 1996 graduate that passed
away tragically in a car crash leaving behind a wife and three beautiful boys
and many friends in the Windham community. The tournament benefits Windham
Youth Basketball, according to president Pat Moody.
“Wanted to do
something in his memory, so we created this fun tourney and named it after
him,” Moody said. Dan was number 12 at Windham, and in Sonic’s Jersey on
the logo, he is wearing Dan’s number.
The teams range
in age from 9 to 50 years old and raised over $4,000, this year from sponsors
and team entry fees. Windham Millwork, Bob The Screenprinter, Old Port Press
and Walmart sponsored for the fourth year in a row, while new sponsors Maine
Optometry and Robie Builders joined in the fun. 
“This year the
money will go towards replacing the much needed basketball systems at the
primary school playground. WYBA will donate the hoops and installation to the
RSU,” said Moody.
Some
of the teams that were crowned champions were: Third/fourth
grade - Luke Cunniffe, Sam Rogers, Lukas Hammond and Stella Jarvais. Fifth/sixth grades - Bryce Duarte, Petros Engelhardt, Jaelyn
Jackson, Arianna Riel and Jaden Kimball. In the seventh/eighth - Dom Cambell,
Kaleb Cidre, Hayleigh Moody and Jared Johnson. In the adult division the
champions were Arsenio
Santamaria, Danielle Clark and AL "Blackstone Jeff Duquette.
